Jehovah’s Witnesses returns to Battle Creek for a pair of three day conventions at Kellogg Arena next month

BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – One of the largest convention organizations in the world returns to Kellogg Arena next month.

Jehovah’s Witnesses will present their 2024 “Declare the Good News!” convention series the weekends of August 2–4 and August 9–11. The free event is expected to draw more than 7,000 attendees to Battle Creek over the course of the two weekends, which the organizations says will fuel the city’s economy with local spending at stores, hotels and restaurants.

Jes Sprague, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses says “This year’s theme will highlight a topic the community wants to hear: good news! Our convention will bring a warm message of positivity and hope to the thousands that are able to attend.”

Prior to each convention, local congregations will engage in a campaign to invite community members to the event.

Jehovah’s Witnesses says last year, nearly 13 million people attended more than 6,000 three-day conventions
